Alaska 2025: Back to the Tundra

[Bluumoon]

Just FYI. I went to Walmart today and they were out of locking tags. I went across the parking lot to Fred Meyer and got the last of theirs. I assume if you are there during the week probably easiest to just go to the Fish and Game office.

Good luck man!! Leave me one or two for next month

How did your hunt go?

@Viking3520 How was your hunt?
I'm in the early stages of trying to figure out how to set up my first AK Caribou hunt. It'll be DIY as I have a friend who's a resident and an accomplished backcountry pilot. My top question for you is how did you get a tag two years in a row? Looking at the draw statistics this seems like nothing short of a miracle! I'm a new member so can't PM yet, but if that's the more appropriate approach, I can wait. Thanks!

Also curious to know how the bow mounted decoy worked! Had mixed experiences and reviews from others with different animals.

Hopefully your hunt went well.

I didn’t hear of a missing person report from up there this year.

I don’t know of any caribou draws outside of a select few areas. They’re almost all harvest tags that you can just walk into ADF&G and pick up. The Porcupine Herd, that I hunt every year, is all HTs

Right on. That’s what I’ve started to learn/understand. My AK friend had (unintentionally) led me to believe that I would need to draw to hunt but I’ve quickly learned otherwise.
Thanks for getting back to me!

Thanks for getting back to me!

Sure thing. I’m a guide up here. You’re welcome to hit me with any questions you’ve got about the Porcupine herd or caribou in general.
